[metapost] quick question

[Daniel H. Luecking]

[Copying the list]

The problem is that the EPS which metapost produces by
default is not self-contained. The fonts are not
embedded. TeX-relatex software like dvips, dvipdfmx
and pdflatex know how to handle that, but programs
like ghostscript need the fonts either in the EPS
file or in the system.

If you include the line

    prologues := 3;

in your .mp file before any figures, MP will embed all
the fonts you use (provided it can find them, but that
includes all fonts installed in the TeX system).

See sections 3 and 8.1 of mpman.pdf (pages 5 and 24
in my version).

Hello Dan,

I just tried eps2eps  on a metapost created file that contains  measurements
expressed in the font cmss10.   Howver, I get an error message

Error: /undefined in cmss10

What fonts might I use in metapost that won't throw eps2eps off?

Many thanks in advance,

Walt
